Describe what you want to be doing and if you get a lot of resistance, find someone else.

Where are the resistance?

Check for meth use (can of spray starch works I was told by a MH investor).

The tool cut out the grout but it was very resistant, which I don't believe is very common.

that should be treated to resist mold, is there any on it ?

i think that would be cool if you were just flipping it, but might not be good to encourage fires by renters. you could put some stone pavers back there for a BBQ grill/hangout area though, that might be a little more under control. you could also plant some drought resistant desert plants along the edges. how big is the yard, it looks quite substantial.

Also get something with at least a 12 mil wearlayer AND a scratch resistant AO or ceramic finish over the wear layer.Hope this helps

It is only water resistant and not water proof. 

My very 1st tenant, as I was resisting becoming accidental landlord, I rented to friends of family a rent to own contract for deed where maintenance was all on them.

@Rigo MonzalvoFunctionFire resistant walls provide sufficient time to discover a fire, control it and evacuate the building if necessary.
